The most common definition for “Kaanapali” is rolling hills, as it is set between the foothills of the 5,000 foot West Maui Mountains (Kahalawai, in Hawaiian), and the golden sands of one of the world’s best beaches. Kaanapali Beach is approximately three miles long, and is divided by a lava cliff, known commonly as “Black Rock” and by the Hawaiians as Puu Kekaa.

Kaanapali Beach Hotel is located on a flawless stretch of world-famous Kaanapali Beach. 430 guestrooms and suites overlook a lush tropical garden filled with the sounds of soft tradewinds and gentle surf. From Hawaiian quilt designed bedspreads, tropical furnishings and original art, to airy lanai; you’ll never feel like you’re in a pre-packaged chain hotel. The hotel consists of three, 6-story buildings and one 3-story building on eleven ocean front acres.
